A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home.
Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.
Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived.
"The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move."
Flores, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with felony possession of marijuana at an arraignment hearing Monday. Because of his immigration status, Flores will be jailed until his case is heard.
Authorities were still searching for the gunmen.

This guy is brilliant. He loses some drugs, claims the rest is his and goes to jail where he can be with more of his hardworking immigrant friends. What a life.

And there are the kind of people sneaking into our country? I think they should let the US residents have a free for all. Let us stand at the border armed. I say any illegal who dare inter gets shot on the f ing spot. that will stop them. LOL I laugh but I am completely serious about it. I think they would change their minds fast about coming into our country with out the proper paper work.

The crime industry doesn't attract the best and the brightest of the population.
